    The title’s gameplay is more than just a band-aid. It's fulfilling in its own way – one which is as temperamental as the sport itself – and it’s the fundamental piece of a title whose benefits are more subtle than overt.

    From your first tee to your umpteenth hole, The Golf Club 2019 Featuring PGA Tour really nails that heart-in-mouth feeling of swinging your club like a pro.

    The Golf Club 2019 is a very good golf game, which shines in particular by its game system that is both realistic and rewarding. It does not hustle the codes, but offers an infinite renewal, thanks to its system of procedural generation in addition to the official courses of the PGA Tour. The loading times also benefit from a particular optimization and are non-existent during play, which favors concentration.

    The Golf Club 2019 isn’t a perfect game, as it has it’s issues here and there, but it’s fun once you have the hang of the gameplay, especially when you play with friends. With 2K now producing the game series, it has great potential to become even better over the coming years,. Hopefully we’ll see some updates on the game’s visual issues, a slightly easier gameplay this game will be more inviting to everyone.

    Without question, The Golf Club 2019 has received a large credibility injection thanks to the involvement of the PGA Tour. Sadly, this feels like a half-implemented crossover that doesn’t utilize the license to anywhere near its full potential.

    The Golf Club 2019 featuring PGA Tour is far from what the official series was delivering when it was between the hands of EA. Today, it feels more like an indie game with a very limited budget that has an official sticker on its box.

    I feel compelled to write something about this game because it hasn't gotten much exposure and it is actually a fantastic game. I have neverI feel compelled to write something about this game because it hasn't gotten much exposure and it is actually a fantastic game. I have never really liked the series before but this one feels like a legitimate PGA tour game. The graphics and performance of the game are great (xbox one x) which I was worried about given the previous games. I feel like the gameplay is much improved as well. In the prior games I felt like it was very difficult to gauge shots, (especially putting) but this one feels perfect and fair. My only gripe with the game is the commentary which is fine but it would be nice to have the guys from PGA broadcasts calling the shots. This feels like a natural evolution of the Tiger Woods series and that was exactly what I have been waiting for. Expand

    It gets everything right. Visuals are great, load time is non-existent, narrator has a soothing vibe in his voice to calm you down if and whenIt gets everything right. Visuals are great, load time is non-existent, narrator has a soothing vibe in his voice to calm you down if and when your shot sails right over the hole. The difficulty is unique in that it is quite accessible for a complete newbie to golf like myself while also retaining a ton of room to fine tune your performance once you learn more about the sport. All in all a fantastic entry in golf games. Expand

    All due respect to whomever says they enjoyed Tiger Woods but Immediately poo poo this game with a 1, don't remember TW when it was at it'sAll due respect to whomever says they enjoyed Tiger Woods but Immediately poo poo this game with a 1, don't remember TW when it was at it's best. They are akin to the same people that love FIFA over PES when the latter provides far superior gameplay. What Golf Club does really well is stack on top of itself. There is a definite learning curve which feels justified and rewarding once you start picking it up. This isn't like most games where you spend points and then your player can become a golf god.

    If you are purely a career mode player, it may feel a bit like a good start without being fully polished. But there is enough there to keep you interested. The clothing customization is also pretty fun and far deeper than any other similar sim I've played. Also, for those with more understanding of golf course architecture, the course builder is pretty robust. I have played some beautifully challenging created courses.

    Bottom line, if you have a golf itch, this will certainly scratch it. You may just have to put in some time first.

    This game is a coin flip whether it is a 7/10 very enjoyable game or an 8/10 must play or own game. Some improvements should be made, however,This game is a coin flip whether it is a 7/10 very enjoyable game or an 8/10 must play or own game. Some improvements should be made, however, as is, I would highly recommend this game to golf lovers because it is quite a decent sim and if you learn the controls you can do almost any shot. There are a lot of modes to play through and you can make and play other people's courses. The commentary is pretty decent but to be honest a little on the boring side. What I like best about this game is it prompts your intellect on each shot as in real life golf. The bad of this game is that the crowd looks terrible and uninspired and I don't feel the wind or the traps portray themselves accurately.The graphics on this game are far superior to ps3/xbox 360 generation. In the end I think there is room for improvement within the series in presentation but the golf itself is quite addictive. It would score even higher with successful integration of move controllers. For now I'd say it's a strong recommendation but a gamer should realize it's not quite perfect yet. Still, I've been able to get rid of many of my old console golf games this one has made many of them no longer necessary as it does do a lot of stuff drastically better than a lot of games. Course loading screens also are very fast. Do yourself a favour and check videos on this game it's fairly decent and I found it definitely worth my time. Expand

    I am only in my infancy on The Golf Club 2019 and have fortunately never owned a previous version of this series, so the initial selling priceI am only in my infancy on The Golf Club 2019 and have fortunately never owned a previous version of this series, so the initial selling price doesn't put me off as much as it will others. Overall I am very impressed with the game and expect I will find it very challenging for many months to come. If you enjoy watching or playing golf then you will enjoy what is in essence this golf simulation.

    What the previous owners of the PGA Tour license did with their games was a disgrace, making arcade golf game time after time, similar to how they treat other modern sports. Hopefully the new license can be expanded to further courses in the future but having paid the full value for the initial game I will not be spending on any future possible add ons. I will enjoy what I have. A solid golf game with endless playability.

I also love the created courses and most other features. If you are like me, you play games to progress and keep track of records. This is a major area this game falls flat. Head to head mode is a huge addition to this years game and it just cant do the simple things right. Win three games and it may give you one win and four losses. Very frustrating.

    This is honestly the only downside of this game.

    I'm extremely miffed. I just bought the game which was a waste of $66.99CAD. I started character creation and when I got to the clothingI'm extremely miffed. I just bought the game which was a waste of $66.99CAD. I started character creation and when I got to the clothing section, guess what? There's maybe one of each item you can actually choose from and you actually have to buy everything else. I didn't think of looking if you actually begin with cash, but seriously? Even if you get cash from tournaments, extremely inconvenient for players who aren't that good at these games (like myself). Why couldn't they at least give a decent choice of apparel and perhaps MAYBE add exclusive items in the shop? I was extremely disappointed and wish I could get a full refund. I wish I didn't have to give such a negative review especially because Golf is my all-time favorite sport. A game where the majority of character creation is hidden behind a paywall should not exist. I'd hate to see what else is hidden behind a paywall. I honestly would not recommend this game. Expand
